Desperate Struggle To Be Last Wii No More Heroes, Suda51 Says


Looks like the Wii will soon be saying goodbye to one of its "hardcore" franchises. In a new interview, Grasshopper CEO Goichi Suda said he wants No More Heroes to continue to grow, but that he feels it needs to go beyond Nintendo's platform to do so.

"I really want to make NMH a big franchise, and with this second episode have bigger success. I'm putting a lot of care into developing this IP, as I feel there's a lot of potential," he told Edge.

However, "I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii."


Rock Band DLC Brings Green Day and Mayhem

Green Day Rock Band's DLC for next week includes the exclusive Green Day three-pack that was announced last month, in addition to eight tracks from artists involved with the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. The Mayhem Festival eight-pack will go for $13.49 (1080 Microsoft points), and the Green Day three-pack will cost you $5.49 (440 Microsoft points). Individual songs, as usual, are set at $1.99 (180 Microsoft points, 200 Wii Points).

Expect the following tracks to show up next Tuesday, July 7 on Xbox Live and Wii, and Thursday, July 9 on the PlayStation Store:

  • "21 Guns" by Green Day
  • "East Jesus Nowhere" by Green Day
  • "Know Your Enemy" by Green Day
  • "Conquer All" by Behemoth
  • "What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse" by Black Dahlia Murder
  • "Hammer Smashed Face" by Cannibal Corpse
  • "Empire of the Gun" by God Forbid
  • "Embedded" by Job for a Cowboy
  • "Disposable Teens" by Marilyn Manson
  • "Black Magic" by Slayer
  • "This Is Exile" by Whitechapel

What's it going to be -- a sampling of Green Day's latest, or some good old fashioned metalcore? With a song title like "Hammer Smashed Face", how could you possibly go wrong?


Miyamoto Says New Zelda Not "Radically Different"

Wii Zelda The News: Shigeru Miyamoto teased a new Zelda title this year at E3, but didn't go into details since the development team is still defining the game. One might think that means this one will be a departure from the conventions of classic Zelda games, but Miyamoto gave a very different impression in a recent interview with Nintendo Power (via Aeropause). "I don't think it's going to be that radically different," he said.

Our Take: A new Zelda title alone is usually enough to create buzz, especially among series stalwarts, and the games are always well-made. But, some fans are starting to feel tired of treading on familiar ground, so this won't be welcome news to those who want a new take on Hyrule.

Capcom Classics Coming to PSN Throughout Summer

Capcom Classics Collection: Remixed

Capcom seems to be jumping aboard Sony's digital distribution wagon with a flurry of downloadable retro games on the PlayStation Network this summer, according to the PlayStation.Blog. First up is the Capcom Classics Collection: Remixed coming later today, which includes titles like Strider and Bionic Commando. You can check the full line-up of games in the Remix at the Capcom blog. Capcom has noted that it's only playable on the PlayStation Portable, since it's a port of the UMD version of the game.

Various other Capcom games are being brought to the PSN throughout the summer as well. UMD ports include Mega Man Powered Up, Power Stone Collection, Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X, Darkstalkers, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, and Capcom Classics Collection: Reloaded. Capcom is also planning PS1 ports of Dino Crisis, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.


Sony Always Planned for UMD-less PSP

PSP Go

Sony had plans to make a PSP without the UMD drive from the beginning of the system's life, according to a new interview with GameBusiness.jp (via Develop). "We'd planned to release a PSP model without a UMD drive since the very beginning," said Naoya Matsui, Sony's head of product planning. "But if we'd simply released the hardware, there wouldn't have been much for everyone to enjoy. We needed to prepare the right environment for it first... We wanted to release it when the delivery of digital content was on par with the delivery of physical media. That's what we've been working on these past two years."

It certainly makes sense for Sony to plan ahead so far in advance, since most hardware manufacturers do. It does shake up some assumptions about the UMD format, though. The focus on digital delivery seemed to be consciously shifting away from the proprietary format, which has had a rocky history. Instead, it seems to have been a bridge to where Sony ultimately wanted to go with the product all along.


Chunsoft Announces Two Adventure Games


In the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine, Chunsoft announced their next few releases, both of them in the sound-novel adventure genre that they're best known for in the country.

First up, the veteran developer is producing PSP and PlayStation 3 ports of 428: In the Blocked City Shibuya, a Wii title that caused a stir when Famitsu awarded it a perfect review score out of nowhere last year. The original Wii game was published by Sega, but these new ports will be released in Japan by Chunsoft's new publishing partner Spike, as both companies are now part of Japanese umbrella joint venture Games Arena. Expect to see the ports in Japanese stores by this September.

After 428 comes out this fall, a brand new Chunsoft adventure will hit the Nintendo DS, also courtesy of Spike. Called 9 Hours, 9 People, 9 Doors, the game has quite a staff behind it -- character designs are being handled by Kinu Nishimura, who's done tons of work on the Street Fighter series, and Kotaro Uchikoshi (writer of Ever17: The Out of Infinity) is handling director and screenplay duties.
